Barely Alive Book Tour

***This is a MATURE YA themed series. There are
adult themes and strong language.***

In twelve weeks, seventeen-year-old Paul Ledger will be dead. At least he hopes
so.

Paul is trapped in the worst cult the United States has ever seen. Infected
with a zombie virus, symptoms culminate in a dead body but thriving mind over a
course of twelve weeks. If he doesn’t earn the final death he longs for, he’ll
be chained in a basement facility, moaning for human flesh for eternity.

Sent out to kidnap girls for food, toys, or whatever the boss wants, Paul nabs
Heather McCain. He’s not a fan of humans as a general rule, but even his
graying skin and insatiable hunger for her flesh don’t stop her from reaching
out to him. Give him the second chance he doesn’t know he needs.

Overcome by his cravings, Paul bites her delectable skin. Amazingly, she
doesn’t develop the zombie-like side effects. When the boss discovers Heather’s
immunity, he gives Paul an ultimatum – deliver up Heather and her family to
continue the research or watch as Paul’s brother suffers the zombie fate.

Paul has a chance to endure his short zombie existence knowing his brother is
safe. But he’ll have to sacrifice Heather to do it.

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This novel is unlike any other zombie novel I have ever read. Paul, although being transformed into a zombie staves off his cravings to save Heather. Although when sent to kidnap the girls, he'd bitten her, somehow she didn't transform. Could she be the key for a cure to save him and those like him? I guess you'll have to read it to find out. This book was awesome and so difficult to put down. It held my attention throughout, I can't wait to read book two to see what happens next.

About the Author

Bonnie R.
Paulson mixes her science and medical background with reality and possibilities
to make even myths seem likely and give every romance the genetic strength to
survive. Bonnie has discovered a dark and twisty turn in her writing that she
hopes you enjoy as much as she has enjoyed uncovering it. Dirt biking with her
family in the Northwest keeps her sane.
